"We are pinpointing changes for your Thursday and or Friday as drier air works into the atmosphere, especially in the mid- and upper-levels," News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.
Expect a high of 92 degrees on Thursday in Orlando. The average high for this time of year is 89.
High temperatures will remain in the low 90s through the weekend.
"Rain chances will be much lower for Thursday and Friday as drier air continues to stay in place," Bridges said. "The east coast sea breeze will try to push in from east to west late in the afternoon, but rain chances will be minimal."
